Hi all
Il try keep it short.
Saved up to buy new pc that will run reason/ rewired with 100+ tracks/fx/processing etc lots of mixers and sends, multi-band compression on many tracks yadda yadda yadda
( for making drum and bass ) has to run smooth, no cpu issues, no over heating, needs parts that can be replaced if breaks ( as I'm sure it will break ) all in all a "gaming PC", hope to spend less than 500, ideally less than 400 ( dream on pal? )
pcspecialist.com - great idea but after building a few, soon realized that I know nothing that I need to know and blimey, that charge a LOT of cash! and i worry that I am missing parts out or certain things that they wont tell you.
ebay - fantastic, much cheaper, well more choice but, either has i5 chip and a shit mother board, or a good motherboard and a good graphics card (which I don't need ) do I? see what I mean? pre built for specific things, lacking this or that, or having too much power and sick graphics etc ( waste of money )
Could by one with i5 chip for 360ish and get back on reason tommorow but my predicament is - I NEED it to last, I NEED it to have universal parts?
( i think, for repairs when it breaks, do pcs have universal parts? or do they just stop making them forcing you to keep buying NEW ones? )
I NEED an intel chip ( again, I think, going off performance )
Do I sound like a lunatic? or is this what you guys consider when forking out for a rig that you can happily make beats on and not worry about it it blowing up after a year.
Thanks.
Very short...
